POSTCARDS FROM MOROCCO

15 July 2014

I hope that these photos make up at least a teeensy bit for my 2 week+ absence! This is by far the longest break that I've taken from blogging and I must say that I'm coming back feeling quite energized and ready to post regularly again (...anticipating that the wifi here in Morocco stays semi-reliable this next week)! Alex and I have been shooting quite a bit I can't wait to share with you the photos from our explorations! (In the meantime, I have been updating my Instagram regularly if you'd like to connect with me there! c;

I've barely had time to breathe since arriving, what with missing bags (story + shoot to come!), a larger language barrier than expected, and a bit longer-than-usual stares, but from everything I've seen thus far, Morocco is filled with beautiful places and people! Unfortunately, I didn't make it through the bulk of my photos that I've taken so far, and so I still have quite a lot to share, but just think of this post as a I'm-still-alive-thanks-for-checking-in-on-me-I-promise-I'll-get-better-at-this post c;

Alex and I woke up to catch the sunrise and take a shoot (so excited to share this shoot with you!)

(Sort of secretly) shooting in little alleyways in Rabat!

One week left in Morocco and off to Iran! Thanks again for sticking around!

To anyone who has visited/lives in Morocco: Any suggestions on places to see around the Rabat area for my last week here? c:

P.S. OH and it totally slipped my mind I will definitely be posting a bit about Ramadan as well, momentarily, (especially since this is my first time observing Ramadan in a Muslim country) but in the meantime, Ramadan Mobarak to all who are fasting! (if you have any specific questions about Ramadan/anything please feel free to ask in the comments section and I'll try my best to answer in the next post!) ♡

Hi there! these images are amazing!!! your trips looks like such a great adventure, when would you be back? and there is nothing wrong with being absent for a while if you are traveling! I can't wait to see all the pics yo post from Morocco!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog, I’mfollowing you on Bloglovin, Instagram and Facebook (also with my personal account so it increase your numbers), I hope you can follow me back to stay intouch.

Thank you! So glad you like it! That photo is one of my favorites too! (And I usually don't shoot in black and white!) xx You definitely should make it out--these photos don't do the place any justice!

Oh thank you so much! Haha back as in back to blogging? I'm hoping to come back to regular blogging now but it's not working just as well as I'd hope to! (hence my still lack of posts) But I'll try my best to be semi-better at blogging while traveling! ;) And oh, thank you so much for all of the social media love! xx

Hi there! Thanks so much for coming by my blog, and for your kind words!

Thank you for you kind words (and please excuse my so very late reply! I'm in Iran now and the internet connection is not as reliable as I would have liked!) Ah, I'd love to visit India some day! Where in India did you go/(are you from?)Thank you for reading! x

Oh! Thank you so much for your sweet comment (please pardon my late reply--unreliable internet connection in Iran, heh) So very gald you like the photos and my blog! You're so sweet, and hope to see you again! xx Thanks for dropping by!
